[Serena] Challenge Ladder

[Throndir]

An hour later the arena was cleared and the new challengers placed into combat. You didn't know what to expect, though you knew the fight was to be harder. Soon enough the next opponent was unveiled and before you stood a serpentine creature, like a wingless dragon, but had five heads attached to the body. It towered to maybe 24 ft. in height. Though even that was an estimation as the way the heads moved around and the necks coiled, that it made it difficult to get a good measure. Unlike the other previous rounds however, there was a sizeable crowd to this one. Most of the would-be adventurers had to stop at the fight before, and from here on out were perhaps the toughest the event organizers could get together.

She stood unafraid without question this was the type of place where she really shined. Her aura flared to life in full force bloomg and whipping out around her. She could feel the presence of her god and would not be falling here. Her necklace and dress were billowing around her. A new addition this time of bells on a wrist and ankle chimed as she went into her stance the necklace appeared as if it might even fly off her neck on its own.

You attempted to attack again, however as you did so, the large lumbering beast attempted to move out of the way as it attacked you. You quickly dodged the attack, and followed up by unleashing your divine magic on it. A second later the huge beast collapsed sound asleep.
